Name of the day July 25th - Veronica

It is not clear which original root is the basis of the name Veronica. WITH Greek language the name translates as “bringer of victory,” although this name also contains Macedonian roots. In the 12th century Western Europe another interpretation of the name Veronica appeared. The name began to be translated as “ true image».

Veronica brings good luck, victory and happiness to others. People are drawn to her because they unconsciously feel that by communicating with Veronica, they can get more energy for their own achievements. She is a “donor” against her will. The men next to her achieve everything they want, the children grow up smart and fulfilled.

Veronica, born on July 25, dissolves too much in the world around her, so she has little time left for herself. She remains in this state for a long time: like an enchanted frog princess who has not yet shed her skin. But as soon as the cherished hour comes and a prince appears who can disenchant her, she immediately turns into a princess... And a new round in life begins.

It is useful for Veronica to awaken her ambitions and desire to win, and for this she needs to imagine herself riding a blue deer. This is the same magical deer that will lead her to the winners’ podium on her name day.

The blue deer is a symbol of the sun and light; its image or porcelain sculpture will ward off bad influences.

Good luck is foreshadowed by a name day dream about deer grazing in the forest.

Seeing in a dream that you are burning in a fire means health problems; seeing that a wall of fire is approaching means problems social nature. Seeing something being burned in a fire means problems with the law. It is extremely rare that such dreams show danger from fire. The philosophical interpretation calls dreams of burning in fire a harbinger of transformation. Fire in dreams burns that which hinders the evolution of the spirit. Dreams about fire on name day night often indicate the need to engage in spiritual practices. If you dream that the fire goes out, the problems will go away.

There are two possible origins for the name Veronica. According to the first version, the name has Greek roots. Nika was the name of the goddess who brought victory to the warriors in every battle. But translated from Latin language the name has a completely different meaning. It means “true image”, and is believed to come from two words - vera icon. The incomplete coincidence with the name itself is explained by incorrect pronunciation.

A woman with such an unusual and beautifully pronounced name is the owner of a stubborn character. She has a very strongly developed maternal instinct, she is gentle and feminine. Veronica's Angel Days are celebrated three times a year. They fall on the following dates: July 25, July 30 and October 17.

Veronica's Angel's Day (what date her name day will be celebrated) will be found out by the girl's parents at baptism. For adult woman with this name, the guardian angel is determined by the date closest to her birthday. The patroness of Veronica, born on July 25, will be Veronica the Righteous, on July 30 - the martyr Veronica, on October 17 - the martyr Virinea (Veronica) of Edessa.

Veronica the Righteous, July 25

The first mentions of the name Veronica are found in the Gospel. The book tells that even in the time of Jesus Christ there lived in ancient city Paneada woman. She suffered from painful bleeding for twelve years. During this time, the woman exhausted all her resources on the doctors, but was never cured.

She heard about miraculous healings people touched by Jesus Christ. When the Savior carried his cross to Calvary, the woman began to walk behind him, joining the crowd. When Jesus fell under the weight of the cross, Veronica leaned over to him, gave him water and wiped the blood from his face. At the same moment when she touched the Savior, the woman felt that her illness had gone away. With one touch of Jesus Christ, Veronica was healed after twelve years of suffering.

But this was not the only miracle that happened at that moment. When the woman came home, she saw that his image appeared on the cloth with which she wiped the face of Christ. A fragment of this canvas depicting the Savior is still considered a miraculous icon to this day.

After her healing, the woman placed a copper statue of the Savior near her house. The grass that grew at its foot was miraculous. She healed other bleeding women from illness. The copper statue was destroyed only under Emperor Julian the Apostate.

On the day of the Angel Veronica, which falls on July 25, the church remembers the Righteous Saint and celebrates the miraculous appearance miraculous icon Christ. By the way, some sources indicate that the woman had a different name. She took the name Veronica after the healing, and it was formed from the Latin words vera icon (“true image”).

Veronica's name day July 30

Another Angel Day for women named Veronica falls on July 30th. On this date, the church remembers the martyr Veronica. However, information about who this woman was and what kind of torture she suffered for her faith in Jesus Christ has not been preserved.

The days of Veronica's Angel, which fall in July, are located very close to each other. That is why the parents of a girl with that name have the right to choose the patron saint for their child.

Martyr Virinea (Veronica). Orthodox Angel Day - October 17

In 304 AD, during the reign of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, Christian persecution was not only not prohibited, but was even welcomed. Because of this, believers were simply doomed to death. Christian Veronica, together with her mother and sister, was forced to flee from Antioch at the same time. They stopped in the neighboring city of Edessa. Hence the word Edessa was added to the name Veronica.

The girl, her mother and sister did not remain free for long. Their pursuers soon captured them and took them under escort back to Antioch. But true Christian women waited until the soldiers sat down to dinner, put on their best clothes, turned to the Lord in prayer and rushed into the seething water. Veronica, her mother and sister accepted martyrdom, but did not fall into the hands of the persecutors.

The days of the Angel Veronica are celebrated not only on July 25 and 30, but also on October 17. On this day Orthodox Church remembers a martyr named Virinea (Veronica), who suffered for her faith in the Lord.
